ALBERT LANDRETH,
Headquarters for garden and farm seeds
I RAILROAD matters are practically at q
| stand-still. The Business Mems Associa-
! ton have been proceeding deliberately
/ and carefully but have been anticipated
/ by some otficious persons, who without
authority, proposed to settle the matter
at once by their own personal actions
1t Is said that this meddlesomeness has
| become SO offensive to the officers of the
road that they dropped the whole matter,
feeling they did not have time to give an
interview to every irresponsible person
who chose to talk railroad to them The
business men had better furnish creden-
tials to those who are authorized to speak
for them.
The Chronicle says some farmers in
this county are allowing their cattle to
starve and die rather than buy feed, and
instances the case of one farmer who is
rich, having lost five head of cattle thro'
starvation; he also has others so weak
that they viii soon succumb. 4 Meme
farmer also lost three head of cattle and
% more are 50 weak that they must be
assisted to rise after lying down. These
heartless wretches should be prosecuted.
If some of their neighbors Will furnish
their names to The Pilot with some as
surances of the correctness of the things
charged, they will be published. Fur
nlsh the names of the parties so that they
may be punished.
The Milwaukee Sentinel saws that
democratic politicians generally are glad
that there is to be change IN the chair
manshIp of the democratic central .om-
mittee, because while walker is lip
top fellow socially, he is not very good at
scheming" The fellows who say that
know not William. Let them continue
to have faith in his child-like innocence
and see if he does not come out on top.
"Scheming" is a bad word as it implies
craft and devious ways. But William
has developed sufficiently to warrant the
application of the word to him. Oh, yes,
they may continue to believe William is
not good at scheming; he can stand it If
they can. They will learn something but
he will have the benefits.
THE election which takes place in this
city on Tuesday next has caused no ex-
citement and has developed but few can
dldates except for the position of treas
urer. The republican convention Will
have before it for this office the names of
iessrs. Guttmann, Gelbke and Stirn.
For mayor, the name of Mr.. Thomas
Torrison has been mentioned But he is
in no sense a candidate in the way of de-
string the nomination possibly would not
accept It. His nomination would be a
very creditable one for the party. On
the side of the democrats the nomination
of Mr.. Rahr is conceded Personally he
is very popular, and he has made friends
in his official relations. No candidates
are in the field for the democratic nomi-
nation for treasurer. The question of
water works will not be submitted at the
coming election.
